A new year begins and , although the night was very cold.

a few of the Evening Ladies came out to sew and get a head start on the winter's project.  The only show and tell....I know they have been working away but getting things finished takes time.....was from Wendy and this is a convertible purse and backpack with loads of pockets on the inside.  She did an amazing job...as usual....and brought it in to show and make us all want to make one.

 Out of sequence but that's ok...it got attached and sometimes with google that can be a bonus.  Here Marilyn is showing us the knitted cuffs she made ...for those jackets that don't have them and to be used as a buffer against the cold winds this time of year.







Judith got a head start on the President's crayon challenge and brought hers in all finished. I can't even find my crayons and she's all done.  I guess I better get in gear....no wait, I have until March to get it done.

She enjoyed the ornament day we had  on program day in November so much that she made some more.  A good tip that she gave us was to use tweezers to hold the pieces together until it dried.  Nice to have helpful hints like that.

 Gillian was busy making my favourite mittens and not just because they are Newfie mittens but because they are very warm...much needed when you are on the "Rock" in the winter.

Susan comes up with the cutest patterns ..if you click on the picture it will enlarge and you can see the really cute reindeer with embroidered antlers and scrawny legs.  So darn cute!!

She's hiding behind this lovely " wishing for spring"  quilt she made .

Helen's been hooking again...and it's the right kind of hooking since this is what she has to show for it.  A gorgeous mat there Helen!!

 JOan is hiding behind these cute little mug mats that she made from the panels that Cindy from Crafter's Vineyard gave us at Christmas time.  I got mine done and brought them into Cindy and received a discount on my purchase of some of her absolutely gorgeous backings.  Thank you, Cindy!!

 Agathe got some time for herself over the holidays and , of course , made things for others. Here she shows us the folios she made for grand kids....all different sizes and very colourful.

 This snuggly is made from all flannel and it too went to someone else.

Judy got her three Block of the Month squares done and will probably have the fourth one done by next meeting....I haven't got one done yet but I will!

 Elsie, too has her number three done and is ready to get at number four.

Jean loved the class the evening ladies had in making mittens from old sweaters and brought in the ones she made to show us.

 This is a rag quilt that she made for a little boy she wanted to have a quilt...kindness, thy name is Jean.

again....the kindness come through...this is a baby cuddle quilt that Jean made for our cuddle quilt program.

 Plus she has her three blocks of the month done and ready for number four.

Here we come to end of show and tell ...which is why the second picture is out of sequence. This is Marilyn's interrupter of her sewing time...she knit this cute toque or as the Americans call them 'beanies' that will go to the Church program.

We're all geared up for another year....a few challenges from our president...she likes to keep us busy...something about idle hands..........
